Telangana's Battle for Backward Classes: Protest for Reservation Bills

In an assertive move, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy orchestrated a protest at Jantar Mantar, urging for the Presidential approval of crucial Backward Classes reservation bills enacted by the state's assembly earlier this year.

Joined by numerous Congress party supporters from Telangana, the protest highlighted the pressing demand for an increase in reservation to 42 percent for Backward Classes in education, employment, and local governance.

Having been passed by the Telangana Assembly in March, these bills now await the President's nod, following their submission to the governor, aiming for enhanced representation of backward communities.
